Franklin:

        Yup, got it: try connecting to your ES port with the usual
"<host>:>:<port>" format. For example, "demo.echovnc.com:443".

cheers,
Scott

If I start ES on port 1328 and EW it works (EW info shows up in ES status). If I change the ES listening port (and the router forwarding port to match), EW can no longer find the server. Does that explain my situation clearly?

Sorry to be such a port-changing freak, but I am paranoid about someone knowing of an exploit and searching for a machine to compromise so I try to move all the ports I can to non-standard locations. See the port number for my web server in my signature (at bottom) for an example.

Heya. You're right: EchoVNC won't "find" your RealVNC server if it's
not running in the standard 5900-5909 range. There's no easy way to
change that, without changing the source.

        As for your "EchoWinVNC" comment, I'm not sure what you mean.
EchoWinVNC uses dynamic ports and only makes outgoing connections,
so it needs no port-forwarding. As for the echoServer, it has a port
setting region on the main page. Can you clarify your concern here?

thanks,
Scott

PS: The problem with UDP punch-thru is the reliability. At best, it's a
90-percent solution. So I think echoWare/echoServer will always have
to at least "fall back" to TCP relaying. Still, we're looking into extending
the echoWare protocol to accomplish this..


I finally took some time this morning to try out EchoVNC and ran into the following problems: 1) EchoVNC client is not finding my RealVNC server. I guess this is because I run it on a non-standard port (>40,000). Is there a way to set the VNC port in EC? 2) EchoWinVNC does not have a way to specify a non-standard port. I had to set my router to forward TCP from the standard port on the internet to the non-standard port on my ES. Is there a way to set the EchoVNC port on EW?

Thanks!

PS What are the plans/progress for UDP punch through? This is a feature that interests me just to hopefully reduce/eliminate the packet relaying the server must do. Thanks!
